Book Nook: I'm Just Saying...: Real advice for real girls in a real world. From a real mom.

 How many times did your mother say "I'm Just Saying..." you when dishing out advice? How many times do you find yourself saying it after you've given advice? Sometimes, we tend not to want to hear things from those we're the closest to so this book is a raw, authentic outline of some timeless advice to give to someone written by another mom because we tend to hear it more clearly when it comes from someone else.

Inspired by a mother and a daughter, the latest book by Gabriella Ribeiro, I'm Just Saying....,which I had a chance to review, is a guide for girls of all ages because learning has no time limit. And sometimes, we just need to hear things again, just differently.

 

There were definitely some parts of this book that I really liked. I loved that it started out with travel - that's something that I enjoy doing and think everyone should do, at least little trips! I found the mindfulness section interesting - it touched on a variety of topics that all loosely related to mindfulness, and was a good way to catch in other topics as needed. The book is written in a very comfortable, conversational style, so it definitely has the feel of someone friendly sharing advice. It's a good book for people of any ages, but especially appropriate for times of transition, like graduation or moving or a new job.
